Lime Applications

Better Soil, Better Grass

Balance your soil. Change your lawn.

Liming is the practice of applying an agent to reduce soil acidity (raise the pH level) and make soil more favorable for turfgrass growth.

Reduce your soil acidity!

Soil pH is a measurement of the soil’s alkalinity or acidity. pH is measured on a scale of 0-14, with 7 being considered neutral. Anything below 7 is considered acidic and anything above 7 is considered alkaline. The grass in the PA, NJ and DE tri-state area prefers a slight acidic soil, a desired pH range for our grass types is a pH of 6.0- 7.0.

Our market naturally has acidic soils. We have performed thousands of pH readings as well as analytical soil tests validating this fact. There are several factors for why the northeast experiences acidic soils. In the northeast we get a high rate of annual rainfall. Rainfall naturally causes loss of nutrients such as magnesium and calcium that would otherwise help buffer soil pH.  We also experience acidic rainfall due to air pollutants which impacts the soils pH and there is organic matter common to our market that decays causing the production of hydrogen ions responsible for soil acidity.

For all these reasons we recommend an annual lime service. These applications are intended to maintain an optimum soil pH for grass growth. The benefits of a managed soil pH is that it enhances the availability of essential plant nutrients, better rooting of plants, improved soil structure as well as an increase in soil microorganisms. If you don’t have annual lime applications included as part of your fertilizing and weed control service please fill out a free estimate form or give us a call for a quote!

I just had my first lawn treatment with Edwardo P. and I wanted to give him a big shout-out! Edwardo was incredibly helpful and informative during our consultation. He took the time to walk around my property with me, answering all my questions and... concerns about my lawn. What I appreciated most about him was that he wasn't pushy or trying to sell me on anything. He simply explained the product he was about to use and gave me some helpful tips on how to take care of any moss issues I may have.I was also impressed with his attention to detail. When he saw that I had a pet and small child, he made sure to place their belongings away from where he was spraying to ensure their safety. At the end of the visit, we talked about what to expect on his next visit and I felt like I had all the information I needed to keep my lawn looking its best.Overall, I just wanted to say thank you to Edwardo for providing such excellent customer service. It's clear that he takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about his clients. I'm looking forward to working with him again!read more

Since hiring GL and cutting my grass at 3.5-4 inches I have seen a significant improvement. I do not have an irragation system, water when needed etc. I pre pay for the entire season and use their aerate/seed service.
